A clear count. An exact price.

Count the bags and boxes, not everything inside.

A few simple choices turn a mixed pile into a clear booking. No need to estimate how much of a truck it might fill.

Filled bags and boxes

Count each trash bag or filled household box. Books and media go by the box. Clothes, bedding and shoes go by the filled bag. Toys packed together have a Box of toys choice. Ask us about unusually heavy or oversized bags and boxes first.

Empty cardboard and containers

Empty cardboard is a different choice: choose single empty boxes or tied bundles of 10 flattened boxes. Compacted bales have their own weight-based choices and require loading-dock access. A Storage bin choice covers the empty bin itself; ask us to confirm the contents if they are going too.

Furniture and other larger items

Add the actual larger item alongside your bags and boxes, such as a sofa, chair or mattress. It has its own price and preparation. Keep construction materials and items needing special handling out of ordinary household bags.

A few things
worth knowing.

Bulk junk removal, from choosing your item to pickup day in Valley Stream.

How much does bulk junk removal cost in Valley Stream?

A trash bag is $59 as the first item and $10 additional. A filled household box is $59 as the first item. Add your actual items and quantities to see the combined price before booking. Loading, transportation and disposal are included; any applicable sales tax is shown before payment.

Can you pick up bags of junk today?

Book by 2pm in the pickup address’s local time for same-day pickup. Available dates appear at checkout. Have the booked bags and boxes outside and accessible according to your confirmation. You receive pickup updates and completion photos; the booking is for a day rather than an exact arrival time.

Do I count every object inside a bag or box?

No. Count the filled bags or boxes using the matching choice. Books and media go in Filled household box; clothes, bedding and shoes go in Bag of clothes & bedding; packed toys have a Box of toys choice. Empty cardboard is separate, with individual empty boxes and bundles of 10 flattened boxes. Heavy, oversized or unusual contents need a photo review before booking.

Can you pick up a small loose pile of household junk?

Yes. Estimate how many trash bags the small household pile would fill, and bag or box as much as possible. Select furniture and other larger items separately. There is no extra charge just because the pile is loose. Send a photo first if the count or contents are unclear. A household Dumpster Bag choice does not accept construction debris.

Can I book bags, boxes and furniture together?

Yes. Select the bags and boxes, then add each larger item using its own catalog choice. The booking shows one combined price for the selected items. Move everything to an accessible outdoor spot before pickup; indoor carrying and sorting are not included. Keep anything you want to retain apart from the booked items and identify what goes in your photos and notes.

When can trash go out in Valley Stream?

Household trash goes at the curb in a covered pail or a sealed garbage bag of no more than 32 gallons and 50 pounds, and it may not be put out before 6 p.m. on the night before the collection day or after 6:30 a.m. on the morning of the collection day. The collection day for an address is confirmed with the Sanitation Department on 516-825-8108, and furniture, mattresses, metal and yard waste each leave on a different route rather than with the regular garbage.Official guidance

How do I arrange a bulk pickup in Valley Stream?

Call the Sanitation office on (516) 825-8108 before anything is placed at the curb, because putting items out without calling may result in a summons. There is a five item limit per household for any scheduled pickup, the items may go to the curb no earlier than 6 p.m. the evening before the pickup, and the service is not for house cleanouts. Mattresses and box springs must be wrapped in a mattress bag, plastic wrap or a tarp, refrigerator doors must be removed as state law requires, and propane tanks are not accepted.Official guidance

Leaves may not be raked into the street, the special pickup route is not for house cleanouts and is capped at five items per household, and a refrigerator is only taken once its doors are removed as state law requires.Official guidance
